It is published in this place, in order to advise our friends thru we ore not sleeping at our post. It is our determination to reudor the Journal and Register as effective in the coming contest, as the most exten sive circulation of political information will do. Proposal, for extending the circulation of the State Journal and Political Register, published at the Seat of Government if Ohio, TO THE WHIGS OF OHIO. In appealing to the republican citizens of the State, for on extension of tho circulation of the Journal and Reoister, we with thankfulness acknowledge the unprecedented patronage already enjoyed by the establishment. Our sub scription list at this tuno, contains 4,051 re sponsible names a moro extensive circulation than has ever been yielded to any similar estab' lishmentinthe Western country. But the present is a time in which the friends of pure republican liberty should be most active in their exertions to restrain the giant strides of the power centered nt Washington. It is among the most interesting periods which the country has witnessed since the days of Colonial bon dage. The hour is big with the fate of our re- publican institutions. A crisis is impending a change, for better or for worse, is at hand. People of Ohio ! you aro great in the councils of the nation. Wilt you, then, step forward, and yourselves contribute to shape the destiny of the Republic 1 Or will you "stand idle all the day long," and permit the office-holders to fashion the yoke and to rivet the chain 1 How deeply you have already suffered by the crude "expe riments of those in power, it needs no historian to tell Me wounds are fresh i how deeply you may suffer from " experiments " yet to be tried, it needs nut a prophet to foresee. Alrea dy we are threatened with a monstrous Treasury Bank more terrible to the patriot, than would have been the United States Bank, had all been true that demagogues and blind men urged against it ! A Treasury Bank a scheme which places the National Treasure in the hands of the President a scheme which vests in the functionary, the appointment of an army of newly cre ated office-holders a scheme which invests the government with the character of a grand stock' jobbing concern ; intricate in its details, and opposed in all its features to the simplicity of our republican institutions. What the People of a single State may effect, those of the powerful State of Ohio should at tempt. To be successful, every means of ac quiring the earliest and most correct information should be cultivated. From the central position of the Journal and RentSTER, and from the many facilities within the reach of those who conduct it to procure early advice of tho politi cal movements of the day, wo trust we do not subject ourselves to a charge of vanity in claiming for it a rank among the many good news papers of the State. Proper attention will be paid to National Poll tics ; but it will be a first object of the Journal and Reoister, to prescrvo and advance the re publican strength in the State of Ohio. Our approaching Annual Elections are of paramount importance. A Governor, Members of Con gress, and a Legislature upon whom will devolve tho choice of a Senator in Congress, are to bo chosen in October. To the success of our friends in these several contests, we shall chief ly devote our efforts. News, foreign and domestic and a pleasant literary iiibcellanv i will be presented to the readers of tho Journal and Reoister. SCOTT & GALLAGHER, CONDITIONS. The Journal and IUoihteh is published semi-weekly durinir the Session of the (ienernl Assembly, and weekly the remainder of the year, at XJ UO, lo lie paid on suoseritiiui, or lou dollars if not paid at that time.

In your paper of Monday I find in the reports of the proceeding ol the Mouse, on the hi.ito extend the Wnlhnnd- ing Canal up the Valley of Killbuck to Millcra- bure, the lollowinir parairniim : " Messrs. Ilubburd and Thornhill replied to and refuted the remarks ol the gentleman from Warren, remarking that he was altogether misinformed as to the ownership of the property re- icrred to." I had opposed the bill referred to on utneral principles, believing as I did, and still do, that the work proposed to he constructed, would be ot no considerable puiiltc utility, and not war ranting, especially at this time, the expenditure which it must incur. I did also stato that the benefits of the construction of this canal must result nrincina v to Drivnte nrnnertv. That th. water power on tho killbuck, I had understood was engrossed by a few individuals, who, also, were the principal proprietors ot tho town of Koa- coe, where the water must be discharged, and the trade of the Walhonding canal must be con centrated. 1 also stated that 1 had been inform ed that a member of the Board of Public Works was one of the persons interested in tho town of Roscoc, and owning the water power refer red to. So far from refuting this statement, it was distinetly admitted that a member of the Board of Publio Works, was interested in Mills and property at lloscoe that he wns one of the proprietors, or had made a considerable addition to the town and several members stated. 1I10113 others denied it, that the surplus water of the nainonuing uanal must be principally d charged at that point. I mentioned no man's name; that was introdu ced by the friends of the bill. N. H. DUNLEVV, House Jlcps., Fib. S, 1R3S.

Slay then, thy course, impatient sun! tilow, slow, pursue thy nether way; Bring not the unwelcome morn so soon, For comes our parting with the day. To morn no beauty can'st thou give, When by thy light my life I Feave; Foronly in her sight I live, To whom this heart doth fondly cleave.

The complaints against the Hoard for negligence and inefficiency loeay nothing ol clmrgesol peculation are numerous, and seem 10 be confined to no section ol country nor any political parly. A jeslorntion of the old Hoard, or system, of Canal Commissioners, is explicitly usked tor, and behoved by many persons to bo demanded by considera tions ol economy alone. 1 be cost of ihe board of Public Works is about double the cost of the old system of Canal Commissioners, and tho former decidedly less efficient. 0. 1 wo changes in our criminal law the first punishing the willful and malicious destruction of personal property, animate and inanimate, over thirty-five dollars worth, with imprisonment in the renitcnnary: and the other. authorizing Justi ces of Ihe Peace to inflict the penalty of the law in caeca of petty larceny, flee, where the defendant pleads guilty, instead of recognizing him to ne oounu over ioiourt at a grent public expense. 10.

Restriction of papur issues is ttie cry of one portion of the Legislature, wnuo 1110 oiner puruon insisis, mat if tlie banks are pressed much more, or indeed any more, they will closu thoir business aafnst as possible, and inevitable ruin to tbousnnds, unconnected with banks, must be the consequence. From representation, the Luke country is already suffering, in a degree unknown to the southern portions of the ritale, the consequences of the Specie Circular, and the consequent contraction ot paper circulation which necessarily followed. in ine tec-serve ine people could hardly gel money lo pay iheir taxes the wheat crop is sold the pork cannot be sold for cash, unless at a most reduced price their factories have necessarily been shut up iheir hands dismissed, slid every thing paralyzed beyond credit to one who lias not been there. 1 hese things are every day growing worse, and the result cannot be culuuluted upon with certainty. The people of Ohio mav, every where, prepare to meet with this storm. While the Gov ernment demands specie for the millions thst flow monthly into her coffers, bank paper cannot be kept out to any considerable amount above the specie basis, and then it is easy to see that banking is, under any circumstance,, a losing con-corn. And if the bunks were to wind up, what' wouiu uo ine conuinon 01 ttnngsr 1 hoy have had about Cj IsJu.OOO of specie in their vaults during Ihe past your in Ohio, while Ihe paper circulation from them has been more than $U,0UO,. 000. Closing their busines, as is sometimes sup- E,vu, win iiui uiiuf iiiuto iiiuiii-y into circuisiiuu, ccause Ihe amount of debis duo to tho banks is much greater than the amount due from them. On tlie 6th of November the amount due to tlie banks in Ohio was XI3.KH.U7. From this, de duct ihe $8,1)00,000 of bills in circulation, and there is n butance lit lavurol the banksnl at leaat $5,000,(100, and nearly doubla the amount of specie in iheir vaults. The effect of closing the banks would be then to lake from circulation nearly $7,000,000, more than their notes iu.oir-culsiion 10 psy these debts. Where is the money 10 come from at present? It is not to be hud. The only way banks can close will be to sell real property, and purchase it in lo pay debts duo thoin. This process, however, will not be confined lo banks and their debtors, but to sll who are involved in debt. Ilusiness men sspecislly, will be the sufferers, and Ihe gainers will bo Iho MONKVEI) ARISTOCRACY, and none else. They wiil be made wealihy by this process, at the expense of the enterprising and industrious. And yet the cry of thuse proteasing to be demucrats is, "down with tho banks!" Tho Whigs uf the Legislature see ihe evil, end will exert themselves, 1 trust, to avoid its violence. But they csn do but lis lie. While the General Uuvernmrnt arrays itself sgainsl bank Kaper and the credit system, there is no remedy ut Nifimf liiffering. lly delaying the lime when most ol the banks must close, a great drat of good will Its done. Men will have time to turn them-solves debts will be paid by property at a fair value our exports of produce can be made to realize something towsrds the liquidation ut debts in Ohio, and in a variety ul ways prolonging tho lime of closing bank business will be beneticisl. Ilul, ss said before, while the prosent policy of ihe Uenorsl Government continues to prevail, a long continuance of banking is out of the question. Tilings must come 10 a crisis. With our productive soil, yielding staple commodities that the south and essi must have, we, in Ohio, can bear very considerable revulsions in trade but, productive sa our farms are, we cannot stand every thing. The war of the National Government against the currency, trade, and industry ol the Stale, is more than we are prepared lor. It is waged at mi unexpected a period, and come, from so unexpected a loe, that we are not prepared for it- Our State Ranks but two years sgo were the pels snd lavoriirs of a National Executive ihey w ere llnttered and made to believe that the facilities afforded by them, through loans, were highly useful to the country, especially to the merchant, Ihe manufacturer, and mechanic. With tins encoursgnment, Slid ihe promises of the public de posits to sid thorn, new banks were created, and bank stock was increased lo doublo Ihe lor-mer amount and no sooner had they got under wny, than Iheir furmer friend, Ihe Naiiumd Executive, commenced a war upon its own offspring. The publio deposits could not be trusted In iheir keeping their noies wore rejected in payment of public duties snd lands, without regard In solvency) sndsupiciun and discredit cast upon all banks. The strong arm of the Executive cannot bo withstood in this matter. Banks must go down under the present reign of ruinous councils. Tho people sis promised, indeed, gold and silver lor bank paper, and this promise has deceived its thousands; but if they wait until gold and silver is mado plenty by exacting it in payment of the public revenues, thev innsi wait uniii richer mines than were ever found in the new or old world shall corns 10 light. At present, all ihe gold and ailver in the world does not amount I none fourth part of the whole currency. How, then, the people are In get gold and ailier in such abundance, I suspect they have not exactly understood. 1 would suggest that Moses Dawson writo another letter of enquiry to Gen. Jackson on this subject. But I am digressing. 6tithf.n R. Mann F.-q , one nf the oldest merchants nf N. Y.,hss msde a donation of eight thousand dollsia to lh American and Foreign Bible Sociuly. OHIO LEGISLATURE. MR. ANTHONY'S REMARKS. The resolution introduced by Mr. Foot being under discussion, to wit: "Resolved, That a Select Committee of three members be appointed to inquire into the expediency of extending such facilities to the Banks of this Slate, os shall so far protect them against the operation of the Bub-Treasury and Specie Circular Schemes of the Government, as to enable ihem to alleviate the present suffering, and to supply tho pressing wsiits of tho people of this State, by an increase of the circulating medium." Mr. Medill having just concluded his remarks, and Mr. Clark, of Huron, temporarily occupying the Chair, Mr. Jlntlumy (Speaker) said-Mr. Speaker I suppose it is not necessary for us toscule tho question which is the most a demagogue, he who stands up for the charlored and legulizcd institutions of the country, so fsr as they keep within their proper sphere, and are beneficial to the country or he who avails himself of every opportunity here and elsewhere, to clnim and to proclaim that he is the exclusivo friend of the people, the dcaroppresscd people. I therefore pass over that part of the debate which relates to this point. The questions presented hy this resolution are simply Is the country in distress? What occasioned it? And what ia the remedy? Every one sees and admits that the country is in distress that credit is ruined businois si 0 stand and the prospeiityof the country shocked. If any one doubts ii, let him look st the dockets of tho courts, and see the judgments there let him look at the advertisements of sheriff's sales at the haunis of business at the whole country not forgetting bis own personal inconveniences. But nobody will, or can deny that Ihe whole country ia in groat pecuniary distress. What is the cause of this universal suffering? Gentlemen upon the oilier side tell us it is the Banks, and no opportunity is lost, fit or unfit, to cry out against the Banks. Whether il be upon a subject relating to Banksor not, no matter what, even a Turnpike road, the cry is still the Banks, Ihe Banks, the Banks, the cursed monopolies. Do gentlemen suppose that by this constant cry they aro to hoodwink and mislead the people from the true question? I can assure them they are greatly mistaken. The people cannot be thus easily deceived. Gentlemen aresslv underrate their in telligence. They have seen and felt the cause of our aiuicuitics. When the f resident ol the United Statea commenced his attack upon the Bunk of the United Siaies, he gave Ihe first blow lo credit, and to the business of ihe country. But I need not describo the effects and the operation of his crusade, because the whole is beforo the country. He persuaded us 10 join his standard, and told 11a in his Message ol Ili.l'Z that Ihe local Banks of the Stales could rcsulate exchanges bet ter, and would nfford "a better currency." And his friends in this State havinir tho maioritvin the Legislature at the session of H133-4,were eager to carry out his recommendation, ami the banking capital ui tins otnte was men greuiiy increased; and presently the whole country was furnished with fictitious capital. What was it ihen recommended snd furnished for, but to trade upon. But about the limo il was embarked in trade, a new experiment was to be made. A hard money sys tem must be introduced. The old favorites, the local Banks, were abandoned to their fate under the new systoni, tho effect of which was to com pel them tocurtail, ond that suddenly. This was one of the legitimate consequencesof the Spocie Circular. But il was only one of the consequences; for the effects of the now system upon the commerce and credit of the country were immediate and exiensite. But this curtailment by Iho uanKs, vte neeestan consequence ot the Specie Cir cular, is nuw held up as the onv ratue of the general distress. It will not answer the purpose of gentlemen upon the other side. The' people i understand it; and the maioritics thev have re- 1 turned to both branchesuf this General Assembly, ; and tho immense majorities elsewhere, show that I they aro not so easily deceived. But il is said thai the Banks have refused to pav specie. It is a great fault. They ought not to have done so. It is true that when specie was wonh 10 or VI per cent, more than eastern paper at new t orn, ana that paper worth x per cent 1 more in this country than specie, the brokers of i New York must soon have drawn every dollar of - snccio train tuts country, uut wnat 01 thai I ! wuat ngnt had the banks 10 become the guar- dianaof the interests of this country I What right , had they lo avert a sudden crisis, and prolong I the distress of the country by making 11 more J moderate and easy to be borne? Had ihey paid I out their specio as tnoy ought to have done, we Isnotiia nave nau, instead 01 the gontlo general revolution which has disclosed itself, one which . would hsvo been sudden and universal. Lei them I resume specie payments immediately, and if ihey uo not, let us compel them 11 we can. Mr. Speaker, I am opposed 10 the resolution; it does not propose, and csnnut afford a remedy. It is, at best, a mere pallisiive, and would, in my 1 opinion, iucreaae the disease. The iron hand of tho Genernl Government is upon us. The hard I money system ia to be carried out hy means of I tne 01111-1 rcasury scheme, with its hundred j thousand legs, and against that all our enact-I menis will be in vain. The evil is with Ihe Gene ral Government, and il must be remedied lliorc, or we must submit to il. j (treat exertions have been made to engage the musi numerous cinascs 01 society against tlie less numerous, but equally useful, class of business men of the country. In this qucsliun we aro deeply interested) for no man will pretend that the reaources ol a new cuuntrycan be developed with out Ihe aid of credit. Contiue us to our actual cosh capital by deatrovr.ng all credit, snd abolish ing all nctitiuus capital, and our distress will be complete. MR. PRENTISS' SPEECH.

Editor: "SoOn'elv," il seems, is not con tent with perverting the mesning of my remarks, but retorts by charging ine with "the most palpable porveriion and misquotation" of his. I gave in my lust communication the motive which urged me to decline noticing hia miarepresenta-liona; and the same motive will govern me still, notwithstanding his insinuation, that 1 have "wisely deelined the difficult task." He should not forget that our remarks are on record, and mat me public is to decide between us. It. oppears that he is anxious to chango his ground of defence, by flatly denying the position, that "the improper use of intoxicating liquor is the source and tiic active and efficient rouse of crime and diseuse," For the purpose of re I resil ing nis memory, 1 will quota ceroatim his own words: "Temperanco Societies sturt upon a truth which has been establiahed by experience, and by other evidence the most unquestionable that can be presented to the human mind. It is. that the improper use of intoxicating liquor is the source of evils, countless in number and incalcu lable in magnitude. Seal up the fountain, and ihe streams which flow from it wiil become drv. But dam up the stream only, and vou augment its power and destructiveness." Now, it is true, ho does not here say that these "countless and incalculable" evils ore crime and diseuse; but in a subsequent paragraph ho certainlv docs. Hera are his words: "Of the truth of this, we have tho beat evidence which the nature of the subject admitsthe experience uf iurisissnd medical men. ofsll others most conversant with the history of crime and disease. If the tcslimony of the oldest in incse professions is worm any thing, intemperance is the most octive and efficient cause of these evils." Now, if "Sobriety" did not mean "crime and diseaso," what are the "countless and incalculable" evils be refers to? If this is a -palpable perversion" of his mcumng, 1 confess myself at fault in misunderstanding him entirely. It must be obvious to every candid mind, on an examination of the Temperonco publications of tho day, that powerful, constant and unceasing efforts ore being made to magnify the practice of using alcoholic drinks to such an enormous sin. as lo deludo the honest enquirer alter truth almost into the belief that this is the very primurn mobile of all moral and physicsl evil. Your cur- respondent, by presenting himsell as the cham-piun of TempcruncB Societies, assumes their ground, and sssisis them in magnifying this monster into so terrible a shape, as to call off the attention of the public mind, or ot least of many individuals, from ihe true source uf this, as well as oilier evils ol lar more hideous lurm and destructive powor. Henco, ond hence atone, is the ground ot my objeciionslu Temperance Societies, the assertions ol "Sobriety" lo the contrary not-withaianding. I have pointed out to him some of the greuter evils, and had ho but half as keen an eye in examining the wurkings of the human mind aa ho has tact for miarcpresentalion, he might witness their operation evory day of hia life. But no, he has muunied the total abstinence hobby, and on il he will ride, despite of reason, luci, ouu tieveiuiiun. 1 can assure "Sobriety" lhat he is entirely mis taken in supposing me "mure anxious to sustain a peculiar system uf theology, than lo discuss Ihe true question at issun." The question nt issuo is, "ine source 01 moral and physical evil," that is, "crime and disease," or there is no question at all. Ho admits, in his former comuiutiicatiun, lhat "the vices aie all affiliated;" consequently, he must admit also, that they have a common source. Now, if we would work effectually at the removal of any of the streams of vice, wo must first find the source) and his reasoning was juat, when ho said, "Seal up the fountain, and mo biicuiiib wmcn now iroin 11 win uecome ary." But he will never find the fuuntain, while ho remains damming up the stream. I have directed him 10 tho source ol all evil, viz: a disobedience to the moral laws of God, comprised in the ten commandments of the Decalogue. But to this ho bus a variety of objections thinks it is introducing "sectarianism," the effect of which is to "sow discord among ihe friends of Ihe cause, and defeat their benevolent obiects." An observance ..r .1... I 11 .... J . . i . 1 r . . Ul MICH! I1IWB WOUIU, WI1IIOUI UUUUI, UClCUl Ot least some uf their objeciai and 1 am sure, "if faithfully observed," would present a far more "impenetrable armor" againat the attacks snd inroaua 01 all evil, man the imagined "magic ol the pledge." But, perhaps, your correspondent has imbibed ihe prevailing notion that this ib forbidden ground, 10 be trodden only by the clergy, whoso didactics wc must impliedly follow. Your correspondent naks, " If proper moral culture lias been neglected ill early life, is il furever loo late 10 remedy that neglect!" 1 answer, by no moans; snd refer him lor Ihe remedy, to hia own simile ol the fuuntain and us streams: it is a beautiful illustratian of ihe truth But in iho closing paragraph of his remarks, he evinces a scepticism concerning an overruling Providence, which is truiv surprising in sn enlightened moralist of this Cnrisitan age. Speaking of the permission of evil, he tauntingly observes, "Perhaps in the plenitude uf his (J. W's) wisdom, he could favor Ihe world wiib the true rcaaun whv tho frcater evils are permitted, or why any at all." f "Sobriety" had been a careful reader of the inspired writings, he must have inferred from their exposiulatory atvle throughout, that man ia left tree 10 ouey or disobey their precepts; and me-ihinks it requires but very little philosophy la discover that ibis freedom is essential 10 hia thorough reformation and regeneration. Man can possoss no virtue, as his own, until he has seen its opposite vice as evil, and shunned il from a right motive, while in a siate of perfect freedom. Ilul thu 'magic of Ihe pledge" interferes with this freedom, and o for as il does, " renders the Word of God of none effect." " We ought to obey God rather than men." I will now endcavorto show yourcorrespondent " what mysterious signification is to be attached to 'self-love and the love of Ihe world,' snd what connection, as a cauas, they have to intemperance." Sell-love end the love of the world, are Ihe first affections which msnifest themselves in human life are implanted by the Creator, and may be termed the substratum of the man. If these loves are regulated and governed by the moral laws of God, thoy will prompt to tho shunning of all evil aa contrary 10 ihe laws of heaven ond earth, conaequenily, to perfect Ihe man, by suffering ihe superstructure to be csrried up until il becomes "an image and likeness of God." A disobedience tn these laws allows sell-love and the love of ihe world to rule the mani ond this reverses his upright position) as virtue, which is a Divine principle, is brought in suhjeciion In vice, which is internal. Consequently, the men ia destroyed, for be can neither do good nor perceive truth, aa he calls thst good which gratifies his ruling love, and lhat truth, which sanctions such gratification. While ho is in this Istter slate, whether he be addicted lo iniemperale drinking, or not, he is altogether vicioua) and so far as his power permits him, wagea war against all lhat ia truly good. How far such men mav be influen tial in causing intemperance in others, if not in themselves, I leave for the philosophical rcllec- lionsol vour enrreaunndent 10 determine. Nuw, Mr. Editor, I wiah to close this subject, for tho present) and if my objections 10 total abstinence pledges and socieiies should scent to throw a stumbling-block in the wsy of any roal Iriend of trniperoncc, in Ihe strict sense ot that term, let him remember that I have held up to his view a more safe barrier In the inroads uf Iho "destroyer," than the "-nasic of Ihe pledge," or anv other magic. And before taking leave nf "Sobriety," I would direct him la a wider field for ihe exercise of his talents, his benevolence, and his temperance, vist the cause nf Universal Edticntion in accordance with the Scriptures without note or comment! a rause already begun in our own Hlaieof Ohio! These views are certainlv not "sectsrion;" neither can I perceive anything like lhe"labyrintha of a mysiical philosophy" in them. Yours, J. W. Columbus, Feb, 3. 1030. NIIKHIKr''N HA IK.

Thu subscriber, having mado the necessary arrangements as to editorship and publishing, will issue in April coming the first regular number of a New Monthly Magazine, 10 boar the above-written name. For an outline of the plan upon which the proposed publication is to be conducted, he refers to the accompanying Circular of the Editors. The size of The Hesperian will bo a royal octavo, two columns to the pogo. The work will be printed on paper of superior quality, with new and beautiful type, of the long primer, bourgeois and brevier sizes. A number will be published on the first day of each month, containing from eighty to ninety octavo pages of letter-press, of the size of this pamphlet, well covered, stitched and trimmed, so as to make two handsome volumes a-year of Jive hundred pages each. The annual subscription will be Five Dollar), payable at the beginning of the year: the work to be mailed punctually for subscribers, done up in substantial wrappers, and forwarded to any post-office in tho Union to which it may be ordered. As he has embarked in an expensive and laborious undertaking, with a determination to do everything for its successful accomplishment which individual industry and enterprise can do, the Publisher earnestly but respectfully solicits the co-operation, especially in the matter of procuring subscribers and making remittances, of the Friends of Literature and wholesome Intellectual Culture throughout tho Mississippi Valley. It is desirable that the names of subscribers be returned by the first of April coming. Communications intonded for The Hesperian, may bo directed from this dato, (as the publication will positively be commenced at the specifiodtime), to either or both of Iho Editors, at this City. All letters containing subscriptions, or otherwise relating to the business department of the work, must be directed to the undersigned. JOHN D. NICHOLS, Publisher, Columbus, Ohio. Cm or Coltobd-s, JxrnfARY, 1836". EDITORS' The importance and usefulness of periodical works, devoted lo General Literiv-tureand Science, aro acknowledged in all educated and intelligent communities. Such publications, when properly conducted, form a sort of neutral ground, whero individuals of all political parties, all religious denominations, all scientific pursuits, and all literary tastes, may meet together in perfect amity, and find something encli which shall entertain, or amuse, or instruct, or at least beguile an occasional hour which might else pass heavily or in sorrow. In this country, especially in tho newer sections of it, tho excitements of party, tho turmoil of change, and the incentives to gain, so engross tho attention and employ the time of tho mass of tho people, that cftorts to create an interest m liellcs-Lcttres aro often entirely overlook ed, or regarded with the most discou raging indifference. Notwithstanding, howovor, the force of this fact, and the admonitions of experience, the undersigned havo consented to take upon themselves tho Etlito- rtul supervision of a rertotltcnl to bo devoted to tho interests of General Litera ture and Science. They deem the time-auspicious for tho commencement of such an undertaking, and regard the point fixed upon for tho pluco of publication, as afford ing lacilities lor rentlcnng such a wort intercf.tine and useful, unsurpassed bv tliose of but few cities in tho Union. Of tho various Literary Periodicals which have, during the past ten or twelve years, been projected and for a time published in iho West, not one now survives. I hey hnvo all, after a strugglo of a very few years, been compelled to undergo some chango in which their original char-actor wuslost, or died outright of a fit of non-patronage. Tho West is therefore without a literary Representative, in-eux national Republic of Letters. It is truo we have hero and thcro well-conducted weekly papers of literary pretensions: but Ihey nre small and of limited circulation, nnd from necessity employ but a very little amount of tho talent of this region. A large, respected, and cretlitablo reflector of the literary light of the West, we havo not; and it is with a view of supplying this deficiency, that tho present work has been projected. In that immense region of country comprised within, tho Slules- of Ohio, Kentucky, Tcnnessoo, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri and Michigan, Religion, Sci ence and rolihcs, have tlicir appropriate adi vocatcsandexnoundors; but the Beltes-Lel Ires are without any sufficient channel, thro' which their claims upon public attention can bo inndo known, and by which they may manifest their tranquillizing, and ele vating, nna rcmiing innucnces. This is. not so in other sections of the Union it ought not so to be hero: and if tho cntor- prtso 111 which wo aro about to embark, receive from the western community that consideration t which it seems to us it is entitled, the West, as well as tho South and tho East, shall soon havo a representative of its literary character. In reflecting upon tlie speedy mortality which has attended all literary attempts in this part of tlie United Stales, whero men of almost universally acknowledged ctlucation, ncquireincnts and talents, havo most signally fuiled in their efforts to crcato nnd supply a taste and an nppctito for periodical literature, wo aro forced to ono of two conclusions: oithor thnt the Peopio of tho West lack tho cultivated taste, general intelligence, and public spirit, to appreciate and sustain a wholesomo and an entertaining literature; orrthnt the works which hnvo been attempted hero, havo not boon iiifl'rcicrUly various in character, to suit tho diversified tustes 0110? wants of a community so hetcrogoneotisly constituted as is tho population of tho Slates nbovo-nnmi'd. Perhaps both of theso cruises originally contributed to tho ill-success of periodicals among us. Tho former, however, c:innot wills justice bo said to exist now. Wo tlioreforo adopt Iho latter: and wo proposo to supply, what is undeniably a tresiilorivtuin now in tho West, a Literary Periodical of amplo size, and extensive enough in its rnnge of subjects, to tnako it a sotirco of entertainment, instruction nnd general information, to nil classes of cultivated readers. Tho better to effect this object, the New Mugaziivo will conipriso, in addition to tho usual Original Contents of such works, a Select Miscellany of General Literature. In making up thfcr department, tho best of llto current Rcviows ond Magazines of Groat Britain and AmoricR will bo laid nil- TI1K IMPOHTKIl IIUKNR CONTRACT, Is fr sets sa asry srreaMsatjrfat fsras.

Iho Unheal department of The Hespe rian, will be somewhat more full than is common to magazines in this country; and to all literary aspirants who may appear beforo tho tribunal of the Editors, they will endeavor, without fear or favor, to meto out "equal and exact justice.'-'' Though not bolonging to those carping mortals who aro lorevor judging American productions by European standards, and condemning the efforts of beginners mostly because they fall short of tho excellences of practiced pens and matured intel lects, yet, they clutm very ltttlo fellowship with those editorial scribes who aro so very amiablo as to behold, in every fledgling poetaster who transmits thorn co- pics of his verses in morocco and gold, a young Milton or Pope, and a vounif Scott or Bulwer in every aspirant who manages to discharge his inkstand and paper-drawer of a couple of volumes fiction per year. 1 nore is mucn ana great literary lalcnt in our country, which deserves moro encouragement and consideration than it generally receives: thcro is also a great deal of pretension, which is indebted for till the success with which it meets, to tho impudence of its possessors, and the over-amiable disposition alluded to above. To givo encouragement to- that, by pointing out its beauties and dwelling upon its merits, and to dispense justico to this, by do-noting its defects and animadverting upon its unworlhincss, will be considered an important duty; and as an evidence that it will bo fearlessly and impartially discharged) one of the Editors points to his past connection with periodical literature.

It is published in this place, in order to advise our friends thru we ore not sleeping at our post. It is our determination to reudor the Journal and Register as effective in the coming contest, as the most exten sive circulation of political information will do. Proposal, for extending the circulation of the State Journal and Political Register, published at the Seat of Government if Ohio, TO THE WHIGS OF OHIO. In appealing to the republican citizens of the State, for on extension of tho circulation of the Journal and Reoister, we with thankfulness acknowledge the unprecedented patronage already enjoyed by the establishment. Our sub scription list at this tuno, contains 4,051 re sponsible names a moro extensive circulation than has ever been yielded to any similar estab' lishmentinthe Western country. But the present is a time in which the friends of pure republican liberty should be most active in their exertions to restrain the giant strides of the power centered nt Washington. It is among the most interesting periods which the country has witnessed since the days of Colonial bon dage. The hour is big with the fate of our re- publican institutions. A crisis is impending a change, for better or for worse, is at hand. People of Ohio ! you aro great in the councils of the nation. Wilt you, then, step forward, and yourselves contribute to shape the destiny of the Republic 1 Or will you "stand idle all the day long," and permit the office-holders to fashion the yoke and to rivet the chain 1 How deeply you have already suffered by the crude "expe riments of those in power, it needs no historian to tell Me wounds are fresh i how deeply you may suffer from " experiments " yet to be tried, it needs nut a prophet to foresee. Alrea dy we are threatened with a monstrous Treasury Bank more terrible to the patriot, than would have been the United States Bank, had all been true that demagogues and blind men urged against it ! A Treasury Bank a scheme which places the National Treasure in the hands of the President a scheme which vests in the functionary, the appointment of an army of newly cre ated office-holders a scheme which invests the government with the character of a grand stock' jobbing concern ; intricate in its details, and opposed in all its features to the simplicity of our republican institutions. What the People of a single State may effect, those of the powerful State of Ohio should at tempt. To be successful, every means of ac quiring the earliest and most correct information should be cultivated. From the central position of the Journal and RentSTER, and from the many facilities within the reach of those who conduct it to procure early advice of tho politi cal movements of the day, wo trust we do not subject ourselves to a charge of vanity in claiming for it a rank among the many good news papers of the State. Proper attention will be paid to National Poll tics ; but it will be a first object of the Journal and Reoister, to prescrvo and advance the re publican strength in the State of Ohio. Our approaching Annual Elections are of paramount importance. A Governor, Members of Con gress, and a Legislature upon whom will devolve tho choice of a Senator in Congress, are to bo chosen in October. To the success of our friends in these several contests, we shall chief ly devote our efforts. News, foreign and domestic and a pleasant literary iiibcellanv i will be presented to the readers of tho Journal and Reoister. SCOTT & GALLAGHER, CONDITIONS.

That th. water power on tho killbuck, I had understood was engrossed by a few individuals, who, also, were the principal proprietors ot tho town of Koa- coe, where the water must be discharged, and the trade of the Walhonding canal must be con centrated. 1 also stated that 1 had been inform ed that a member of the Board of Public Works was one of the persons interested in tho town of Roscoc, and owning the water power refer red to. So far from refuting this statement, it was distinetly admitted that a member of the Board of Publio Works, was interested in Mills and property at lloscoe that he wns one of the proprietors, or had made a considerable addition to the town and several members stated. 1I10113 others denied it, that the surplus water of the nainonuing uanal must be principally d charged at that point.

Restriction of papur issues is ttie cry of one portion of the Legislature, wnuo 1110 oiner puruon insisis, mat if tlie banks are pressed much more, or indeed any more, they will closu thoir business aafnst as possible, and inevitable ruin to tbousnnds, unconnected with banks, must be the consequence. From representation, the Luke country is already suffering, in a degree unknown to the southern portions of the ritale, the consequences of the Specie Circular, and the consequent contraction ot paper circulation which necessarily followed. in ine tec-serve ine people could hardly gel money lo pay iheir taxes the wheat crop is sold the pork cannot be sold for cash, unless at a most reduced price their factories have necessarily been shut up iheir hands dismissed, slid every thing paralyzed beyond credit to one who lias not been there. 1 hese things are every day growing worse, and the result cannot be culuuluted upon with certainty. The people of Ohio mav, every where, prepare to meet with this storm. While the Gov ernment demands specie for the millions thst flow monthly into her coffers, bank paper cannot be kept out to any considerable amount above the specie basis, and then it is easy to see that banking is, under any circumstance,, a losing con-corn. And if the bunks were to wind up, what' wouiu uo ine conuinon 01 ttnngsr 1 hoy have had about Cj IsJu.OOO of specie in their vaults during Ihe past your in Ohio, while Ihe paper circulation from them has been more than $U,0UO,. 000. Closing their busines, as is sometimes sup- E,vu, win iiui uiiuf iiiuto iiiuiii-y into circuisiiuu, ccause Ihe amount of debis duo to tho banks is much greater than the amount due from them. On tlie 6th of November the amount due to tlie banks in Ohio was XI3.KH.U7. From this, de duct ihe $8,1)00,000 of bills in circulation, and there is n butance lit lavurol the banksnl at leaat $5,000,(100, and nearly doubla the amount of specie in iheir vaults. The effect of closing the banks would be then to lake from circulation nearly $7,000,000, more than their notes iu.oir-culsiion 10 psy these debts. Where is the money 10 come from at present? It is not to be hud. The only way banks can close will be to sell real property, and purchase it in lo pay debts duo thoin. This process, however, will not be confined lo banks and their debtors, but to sll who are involved in debt. Ilusiness men sspecislly, will be the sufferers, and Ihe gainers will bo Iho MONKVEI) ARISTOCRACY, and none else. They wiil be made wealihy by this process, at the expense of the enterprising and industrious. And yet the cry of thuse proteasing to be demucrats is, "down with tho banks!" Tho Whigs uf the Legislature see ihe evil, end will exert themselves, 1 trust, to avoid its violence. But they csn do but lis lie. While the General Uuvernmrnt arrays itself sgainsl bank Kaper and the credit system, there is no remedy ut Nifimf liiffering. lly delaying the lime when most ol the banks must close, a great drat of good will Its done. Men will have time to turn them-solves debts will be paid by property at a fair value our exports of produce can be made to realize something towsrds the liquidation ut debts in Ohio, and in a variety ul ways prolonging tho lime of closing bank business will be beneticisl. Ilul, ss said before, while the prosent policy of ihe Uenorsl Government continues to prevail, a long continuance of banking is out of the question. Tilings must come 10 a crisis. With our productive soil, yielding staple commodities that the south and essi must have, we, in Ohio, can bear very considerable revulsions in trade but, productive sa our farms are, we cannot stand every thing. The war of the National Government against the currency, trade, and industry ol the Stale, is more than we are prepared lor. It is waged at mi unexpected a period, and come, from so unexpected a loe, that we are not prepared for it- Our State Ranks but two years sgo were the pels snd lavoriirs of a National Executive ihey w ere llnttered and made to believe that the facilities afforded by them, through loans, were highly useful to the country, especially to the merchant, Ihe manufacturer, and mechanic. With tins encoursgnment, Slid ihe promises of the public de posits to sid thorn, new banks were created, and bank stock was increased lo doublo Ihe lor-mer amount and no sooner had they got under wny, than Iheir furmer friend, Ihe Naiiumd Executive, commenced a war upon its own offspring. The publio deposits could not be trusted In iheir keeping their noies wore rejected in payment of public duties snd lands, without regard In solvency) sndsupiciun and discredit cast upon all banks. The strong arm of the Executive cannot bo withstood in this matter. Banks must go down under the present reign of ruinous councils. Tho people sis promised, indeed, gold and silver lor bank paper, and this promise has deceived its thousands; but if they wait until gold and silver is mado plenty by exacting it in payment of the public revenues, thev innsi wait uniii richer mines than were ever found in the new or old world shall corns 10 light. At present, all ihe gold and ailver in the world does not amount I none fourth part of the whole currency. How, then, the people are In get gold and ailier in such abundance, I suspect they have not exactly understood. 1 would suggest that Moses Dawson writo another letter of enquiry to Gen. Jackson on this subject. But I am digressing. 6tithf.n R. Mann F.-q , one nf the oldest merchants nf N. Y.,hss msde a donation of eight thousand dollsia to lh American and Foreign Bible Sociuly. OHIO LEGISLATURE. MR. ANTHONY'S REMARKS. The resolution introduced by Mr. Foot being under discussion, to wit: "Resolved, That a Select Committee of three members be appointed to inquire into the expediency of extending such facilities to the Banks of this Slate, os shall so far protect them against the operation of the Bub-Treasury and Specie Circular Schemes of the Government, as to enable ihem to alleviate the present suffering, and to supply tho pressing wsiits of tho people of this State, by an increase of the circulating medium." Mr. Medill having just concluded his remarks, and Mr. Clark, of Huron, temporarily occupying the Chair, Mr. Jlntlumy (Speaker) said-Mr. Speaker I suppose it is not necessary for us toscule tho question which is the most a demagogue, he who stands up for the charlored and legulizcd institutions of the country, so fsr as they keep within their proper sphere, and are beneficial to the country or he who avails himself of every opportunity here and elsewhere, to clnim and to proclaim that he is the exclusivo friend of the people, the dcaroppresscd people. I therefore pass over that part of the debate which relates to this point. The questions presented hy this resolution are simply Is the country in distress? What occasioned it? And what ia the remedy? Every one sees and admits that the country is in distress that credit is ruined businois si 0 stand and the prospeiityof the country shocked. If any one doubts ii, let him look st the dockets of tho courts, and see the judgments there let him look at the advertisements of sheriff's sales at the haunis of business at the whole country not forgetting bis own personal inconveniences. But nobody will, or can deny that Ihe whole country ia in groat pecuniary distress. What is the cause of this universal suffering? Gentlemen upon the oilier side tell us it is the Banks, and no opportunity is lost, fit or unfit, to cry out against the Banks. Whether il be upon a subject relating to Banksor not, no matter what, even a Turnpike road, the cry is still the Banks, Ihe Banks, the Banks, the cursed monopolies. Do gentlemen suppose that by this constant cry they aro to hoodwink and mislead the people from the true question? I can assure them they are greatly mistaken. The people cannot be thus easily deceived. Gentlemen aresslv underrate their in telligence. They have seen and felt the cause of our aiuicuitics. When the f resident ol the United Statea commenced his attack upon the Bunk of the United Siaies, he gave Ihe first blow lo credit, and to the business of ihe country. But I need not describo the effects and the operation of his crusade, because the whole is beforo the country. He persuaded us 10 join his standard, and told 11a in his Message ol Ili.l'Z that Ihe local Banks of the Stales could rcsulate exchanges bet ter, and would nfford "a better currency." And his friends in this State havinir tho maioritvin the Legislature at the session of H133-4,were eager to carry out his recommendation, ami the banking capital ui tins otnte was men greuiiy increased; and presently the whole country was furnished with fictitious capital. What was it ihen recommended snd furnished for, but to trade upon. But about the limo il was embarked in trade, a new experiment was to be made. A hard money sys tem must be introduced. The old favorites, the local Banks, were abandoned to their fate under the new systoni, tho effect of which was to com pel them tocurtail, ond that suddenly. This was one of the legitimate consequencesof the Spocie Circular. But il was only one of the consequences; for the effects of the now system upon the commerce and credit of the country were immediate and exiensite. But this curtailment by Iho uanKs, vte neeestan consequence ot the Specie Cir cular, is nuw held up as the onv ratue of the general distress. It will not answer the purpose of gentlemen upon the other side. The' people i understand it; and the maioritics thev have re- 1 turned to both branchesuf this General Assembly, ; and tho immense majorities elsewhere, show that I they aro not so easily deceived. But il is said thai the Banks have refused to pav specie. It is a great fault. They ought not to have done so. It is true that when specie was wonh 10 or VI per cent, more than eastern paper at new t orn, ana that paper worth x per cent 1 more in this country than specie, the brokers of i New York must soon have drawn every dollar of - snccio train tuts country, uut wnat 01 thai I ! wuat ngnt had the banks 10 become the guar- dianaof the interests of this country I What right , had they lo avert a sudden crisis, and prolong I the distress of the country by making 11 more J moderate and easy to be borne? Had ihey paid I out their specio as tnoy ought to have done, we Isnotiia nave nau, instead 01 the gontlo general revolution which has disclosed itself, one which . would hsvo been sudden and universal. Lei them I resume specie payments immediately, and if ihey uo not, let us compel them 11 we can. Mr. Speaker, I am opposed 10 the resolution; it does not propose, and csnnut afford a remedy. It is, at best, a mere pallisiive, and would, in my 1 opinion, iucreaae the disease. The iron hand of tho Genernl Government is upon us. The hard I money system ia to be carried out hy means of I tne 01111-1 rcasury scheme, with its hundred j thousand legs, and against that all our enact-I menis will be in vain. The evil is with Ihe Gene ral Government, and il must be remedied lliorc, or we must submit to il. j (treat exertions have been made to engage the musi numerous cinascs 01 society against tlie less numerous, but equally useful, class of business men of the country. In this qucsliun we aro deeply interested) for no man will pretend that the reaources ol a new cuuntrycan be developed with out Ihe aid of credit. Contiue us to our actual cosh capital by deatrovr.ng all credit, snd abolish ing all nctitiuus capital, and our distress will be complete. MR. PRENTISS' SPEECH.

Editor: "SoOn'elv," il seems, is not con tent with perverting the mesning of my remarks, but retorts by charging ine with "the most palpable porveriion and misquotation" of his. I gave in my lust communication the motive which urged me to decline noticing hia miarepresenta-liona; and the same motive will govern me still, notwithstanding his insinuation, that 1 have "wisely deelined the difficult task." He should not forget that our remarks are on record, and mat me public is to decide between us. It. oppears that he is anxious to chango his ground of defence, by flatly denying the position, that "the improper use of intoxicating liquor is the source and tiic active and efficient rouse of crime and diseuse," For the purpose of re I resil ing nis memory, 1 will quota ceroatim his own words: "Temperanco Societies sturt upon a truth which has been establiahed by experience, and by other evidence the most unquestionable that can be presented to the human mind. It is. that the improper use of intoxicating liquor is the source of evils, countless in number and incalcu lable in magnitude. Seal up the fountain, and ihe streams which flow from it wiil become drv. But dam up the stream only, and vou augment its power and destructiveness." Now, it is true, ho does not here say that these "countless and incalculable" evils ore crime and diseuse; but in a subsequent paragraph ho certainlv docs. Hera are his words: "Of the truth of this, we have tho beat evidence which the nature of the subject admitsthe experience uf iurisissnd medical men. ofsll others most conversant with the history of crime and disease. If the tcslimony of the oldest in incse professions is worm any thing, intemperance is the most octive and efficient cause of these evils." Now, if "Sobriety" did not mean "crime and diseaso," what are the "countless and incalculable" evils be refers to? If this is a -palpable perversion" of his mcumng, 1 confess myself at fault in misunderstanding him entirely. It must be obvious to every candid mind, on an examination of the Temperonco publications of tho day, that powerful, constant and unceasing efforts ore being made to magnify the practice of using alcoholic drinks to such an enormous sin. as lo deludo the honest enquirer alter truth almost into the belief that this is the very primurn mobile of all moral and physicsl evil. Your cur- respondent, by presenting himsell as the cham-piun of TempcruncB Societies, assumes their ground, and sssisis them in magnifying this monster into so terrible a shape, as to call off the attention of the public mind, or ot least of many individuals, from ihe true source uf this, as well as oilier evils ol lar more hideous lurm and destructive powor. Henco, ond hence atone, is the ground ot my objeciionslu Temperance Societies, the assertions ol "Sobriety" lo the contrary not-withaianding. I have pointed out to him some of the greuter evils, and had ho but half as keen an eye in examining the wurkings of the human mind aa ho has tact for miarcpresentalion, he might witness their operation evory day of hia life. But no, he has muunied the total abstinence hobby, and on il he will ride, despite of reason, luci, ouu tieveiuiiun. 1 can assure "Sobriety" lhat he is entirely mis taken in supposing me "mure anxious to sustain a peculiar system uf theology, than lo discuss Ihe true question at issun." The question nt issuo is, "ine source 01 moral and physical evil," that is, "crime and disease," or there is no question at all. Ho admits, in his former comuiutiicatiun, lhat "the vices aie all affiliated;" consequently, he must admit also, that they have a common source. Now, if we would work effectually at the removal of any of the streams of vice, wo must first find the source) and his reasoning was juat, when ho said, "Seal up the fountain, and mo biicuiiib wmcn now iroin 11 win uecome ary." But he will never find the fuuntain, while ho remains damming up the stream. I have directed him 10 tho source ol all evil, viz: a disobedience to the moral laws of God, comprised in the ten commandments of the Decalogue. But to this ho bus a variety of objections thinks it is introducing "sectarianism," the effect of which is to "sow discord among ihe friends of Ihe cause, and defeat their benevolent obiects." An observance ..r .1... I 11 .... J . . i . 1 r . . Ul MICH! I1IWB WOUIU, WI1IIOUI UUUUI, UClCUl Ot least some uf their objeciai and 1 am sure, "if faithfully observed," would present a far more "impenetrable armor" againat the attacks snd inroaua 01 all evil, man the imagined "magic ol the pledge." But, perhaps, your correspondent has imbibed ihe prevailing notion that this ib forbidden ground, 10 be trodden only by the clergy, whoso didactics wc must impliedly follow. Your correspondent naks, " If proper moral culture lias been neglected ill early life, is il furever loo late 10 remedy that neglect!" 1 answer, by no moans; snd refer him lor Ihe remedy, to hia own simile ol the fuuntain and us streams: it is a beautiful illustratian of ihe truth But in iho closing paragraph of his remarks, he evinces a scepticism concerning an overruling Providence, which is truiv surprising in sn enlightened moralist of this Cnrisitan age. Speaking of the permission of evil, he tauntingly observes, "Perhaps in the plenitude uf his (J. W's) wisdom, he could favor Ihe world wiib the true rcaaun whv tho frcater evils are permitted, or why any at all." f "Sobriety" had been a careful reader of the inspired writings, he must have inferred from their exposiulatory atvle throughout, that man ia left tree 10 ouey or disobey their precepts; and me-ihinks it requires but very little philosophy la discover that ibis freedom is essential 10 hia thorough reformation and regeneration. Man can possoss no virtue, as his own, until he has seen its opposite vice as evil, and shunned il from a right motive, while in a siate of perfect freedom. Ilul thu 'magic of Ihe pledge" interferes with this freedom, and o for as il does, " renders the Word of God of none effect." " We ought to obey God rather than men." I will now endcavorto show yourcorrespondent " what mysterious signification is to be attached to 'self-love and the love of Ihe world,' snd what connection, as a cauas, they have to intemperance." Sell-love end the love of the world, are Ihe first affections which msnifest themselves in human life are implanted by the Creator, and may be termed the substratum of the man. If these loves are regulated and governed by the moral laws of God, thoy will prompt to tho shunning of all evil aa contrary 10 ihe laws of heaven ond earth, conaequenily, to perfect Ihe man, by suffering ihe superstructure to be csrried up until il becomes "an image and likeness of God." A disobedience tn these laws allows sell-love and the love of ihe world to rule the mani ond this reverses his upright position) as virtue, which is a Divine principle, is brought in suhjeciion In vice, which is internal. Consequently, the men ia destroyed, for be can neither do good nor perceive truth, aa he calls thst good which gratifies his ruling love, and lhat truth, which sanctions such gratification. While ho is in this Istter slate, whether he be addicted lo iniemperale drinking, or not, he is altogether vicioua) and so far as his power permits him, wagea war against all lhat ia truly good. How far such men mav be influen tial in causing intemperance in others, if not in themselves, I leave for the philosophical rcllec- lionsol vour enrreaunndent 10 determine. Nuw, Mr. Editor, I wiah to close this subject, for tho present) and if my objections 10 total abstinence pledges and socieiies should scent to throw a stumbling-block in the wsy of any roal Iriend of trniperoncc, in Ihe strict sense ot that term, let him remember that I have held up to his view a more safe barrier In the inroads uf Iho "destroyer," than the "-nasic of Ihe pledge," or anv other magic. And before taking leave nf "Sobriety," I would direct him la a wider field for ihe exercise of his talents, his benevolence, and his temperance, vist the cause nf Universal Edticntion in accordance with the Scriptures without note or comment! a rause already begun in our own Hlaieof Ohio! These views are certainlv not "sectsrion;" neither can I perceive anything like lhe"labyrintha of a mysiical philosophy" in them. Yours, J. W. Columbus, Feb, 3. 1030. NIIKHIKr''N HA IK.

Such publications, when properly conducted, form a sort of neutral ground, whero individuals of all political parties, all religious denominations, all scientific pursuits, and all literary tastes, may meet together in perfect amity, and find something encli which shall entertain, or amuse, or instruct, or at least beguile an occasional hour which might else pass heavily or in sorrow. In this country, especially in tho newer sections of it, tho excitements of party, tho turmoil of change, and the incentives to gain, so engross tho attention and employ the time of tho mass of tho people, that cftorts to create an interest m liellcs-Lcttres aro often entirely overlook ed, or regarded with the most discou raging indifference. Notwithstanding, howovor, the force of this fact, and the admonitions of experience, the undersigned havo consented to take upon themselves tho Etlito- rtul supervision of a rertotltcnl to bo devoted to tho interests of General Litera ture and Science. They deem the time-auspicious for tho commencement of such an undertaking, and regard the point fixed upon for tho pluco of publication, as afford ing lacilities lor rentlcnng such a wort intercf.tine and useful, unsurpassed bv tliose of but few cities in tho Union. Of tho various Literary Periodicals which have, during the past ten or twelve years, been projected and for a time published in iho West, not one now survives. I hey hnvo all, after a strugglo of a very few years, been compelled to undergo some chango in which their original char-actor wuslost, or died outright of a fit of non-patronage. Tho West is therefore without a literary Representative, in-eux national Republic of Letters. It is truo we have hero and thcro well-conducted weekly papers of literary pretensions: but Ihey nre small and of limited circulation, nnd from necessity employ but a very little amount of tho talent of this region. A large, respected, and cretlitablo reflector of the literary light of the West, we havo not; and it is with a view of supplying this deficiency, that tho present work has been projected. In that immense region of country comprised within, tho Slules- of Ohio, Kentucky, Tcnnessoo, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri and Michigan, Religion, Sci ence and rolihcs, have tlicir appropriate adi vocatcsandexnoundors; but the Beltes-Lel Ires are without any sufficient channel, thro' which their claims upon public attention can bo inndo known, and by which they may manifest their tranquillizing, and ele vating, nna rcmiing innucnces. This is. not so in other sections of the Union it ought not so to be hero: and if tho cntor- prtso 111 which wo aro about to embark, receive from the western community that consideration t which it seems to us it is entitled, the West, as well as tho South and tho East, shall soon havo a representative of its literary character. In reflecting upon tlie speedy mortality which has attended all literary attempts in this part of tlie United Stales, whero men of almost universally acknowledged ctlucation, ncquireincnts and talents, havo most signally fuiled in their efforts to crcato nnd supply a taste and an nppctito for periodical literature, wo aro forced to ono of two conclusions: oithor thnt the Peopio of tho West lack tho cultivated taste, general intelligence, and public spirit, to appreciate and sustain a wholesomo and an entertaining literature; orrthnt the works which hnvo been attempted hero, havo not boon iiifl'rcicrUly various in character, to suit tho diversified tustes 0110? wants of a community so hetcrogoneotisly constituted as is tho population of tho Slates nbovo-nnmi'd. Perhaps both of theso cruises originally contributed to tho ill-success of periodicals among us. Tho former, however, c:innot wills justice bo said to exist now. Wo tlioreforo adopt Iho latter: and wo proposo to supply, what is undeniably a tresiilorivtuin now in tho West, a Literary Periodical of amplo size, and extensive enough in its rnnge of subjects, to tnako it a sotirco of entertainment, instruction nnd general information, to nil classes of cultivated readers. Tho better to effect this object, the New Mugaziivo will conipriso, in addition to tho usual Original Contents of such works, a Select Miscellany of General Literature. In making up thfcr department, tho best of llto current Rcviows ond Magazines of Groat Britain and AmoricR will bo laid nil- TI1K IMPOHTKIl IIUKNR CONTRACT, Is fr sets sa asry srreaMsatjrfat fsras.

Iho Unheal department of The Hespe rian, will be somewhat more full than is common to magazines in this country; and to all literary aspirants who may appear beforo tho tribunal of the Editors, they will endeavor, without fear or favor, to meto out "equal and exact justice.'-'' Though not bolonging to those carping mortals who aro lorevor judging American productions by European standards, and condemning the efforts of beginners mostly because they fall short of tho excellences of practiced pens and matured intel lects, yet, they clutm very ltttlo fellowship with those editorial scribes who aro so very amiablo as to behold, in every fledgling poetaster who transmits thorn co- pics of his verses in morocco and gold, a young Milton or Pope, and a vounif Scott or Bulwer in every aspirant who manages to discharge his inkstand and paper-drawer of a couple of volumes fiction per year. 1 nore is mucn ana great literary lalcnt in our country, which deserves moro encouragement and consideration than it generally receives: thcro is also a great deal of pretension, which is indebted for till the success with which it meets, to tho impudence of its possessors, and the over-amiable disposition alluded to above. To givo encouragement to- that, by pointing out its beauties and dwelling upon its merits, and to dispense justico to this, by do-noting its defects and animadverting upon its unworlhincss, will be considered an important duty; and as an evidence that it will bo fearlessly and impartially discharged) one of the Editors points to his past connection with periodical literature.
